NETGEAR Inc., a provider of advanced networking products, and IPWireless, a developer of UMTS TD-CDMA mobile broadband technology, have jointly developed the new NETGEAR UMTS TD-CDMA Mobile Broadband Router, which enables subscribers to integrate their UMTS TD-CDMA mobile broadband access with Wi-Fi and Ethernet to create mobile, portable or stationary hotspots.
“Subscribers will enjoy the easy, plug-and-play NETGEAR UMTS TD-CDMA Mobile Broadband Router for shared broadband access at home, at work, and everywhere in between, even on the move, anywhere within the UMTS TD-CDMA coverage area,” said Patrick Lo, chairman and chief executive officer of NETGEAR, in a company news release.
The new product will enhance the services offered by mobile operators and broadband service providers worldwide.
“We are pleased to add a market leader like NETGEAR to our growing ecosystem of device partners,” said Chris Gilbert, president and CEO of IPWireless. “We will continue to build partnerships that build on the vision of ubiquitous connectivity for subscribers and improve the business case for our operators globally.”
The new router supports UMTS TD-CDMA networks in any of the available bands, and features four 10/100 Mbps auto-sensing, RJ-45 LAN ports; a WLAN built-in 802.11g and mobile broadband access with UMTS TD-CDMA; firewall (Stateful Packet Inspection to prevent Denial of Service attacks); an intrusion detection system (including logging, reporting, and e-mail alerts, web URL content filtering) and VPN functionality (VPN pass-through - IPSec, PPTP, and L2TP).
UMTS TD-CDMA, a 3GPP-based technology, is the mobile broadband solution designed for GSM operators. Its high average sector capacity, strong cell edge performance, and low cost per megabit make it an ideal technology for mass market mobile broadband and multimedia networks.
UMTS TD-CDMA has emerged as a global standard for mobile broadband, with commercial deployments in countries including Australia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Japan, Lithuania, Malaysia, New Zealand, Nigeria, Portugal, South Africa, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States.
